are removably sustained in the frame, and each of said patternshaving sharpened elements extending fromthe lower edge there-;

' slight modificatio of, which project beyondthe lower edge of the frame, andwhereby when the frame and patterns are arranged upon the cake the outline-of the design will be impressed on said cake, so that the baker or his apprentice may follow the impression with a regular icing tube and thereafter fill in the design with frostings which may be colored so that a highly decorated cake can be thus produced in an easy and expeditious manner and without the employment of skilled labor.

To the attainment of the above broadly stated object and others which Will present themselves asthe nature of the invention is better understood, the improvement further resides in certain novel features of construction, combination and operative association of parts, a satisfactory embodiment of which is disclosed by the accompanying drawings.

In the drawings: I

Figure 2 is a sectional view on a somewhat enlarged scale taken approximately on the line 22 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is an edge view of the improvement.

Figure 1 is a plan view illustrating a Figure 5 is an enlarged sectional view on the line 5'5 of Figure 4.

As disclosed by the drawings, I make use of a frame 1. In the'showing of the drawings, the frame is in the nature of a flat ring member, but may, of course, be variously shaped. The frame has its lower edge widened, as at 2, and its upper edge provided with equidistantly spaced notches 3.

In the showing of Figures 1 and 2 I arrange in the frame partition members 4;. These partition members have their outer ends, adjacent to their upper corners, provided with shanks 5 having headedends 6.

are provided with 1 equidistantly spaced notches 7, [Elle confronting inner ends of the partitions may be connected together in any desired 01, preferred 7 manner, and the partitionsit will be noted are'rem'ovably associated with the frame. As a matter-0ffact, by providing the frame with the notches the partitions may be ;'arranged therein at various desired. angles, although,

asshown in Figure 1 of thedrawings, all

of the partitions radiate from a common center. Between the partitions I arrange patterns, 8. The sides and outer end of each pattern is provided with studs 9v having heads 10,.a1'1d. these studs are designed to be received in the notches of the frame and in the notches of the partitions, the'heads contacting with the outer faces of the frame and with the said partitions. In this manner it will be noted that the patterns may be easily but removably arranged in the frame. The patterns may be of any desired design, such as an ornamental figure, as disclosed by Figure 1 of the drawings, or the ing as disclosed by Figuredof the drawings. In fact, floral, animal and any other shaped patterns may be employed, but the said patterns are necessarily provided with the headed studs for engaging thenotches of the frame or of the partitions for supporting the same in the frame. Preferably, but not necessarily, the patterns are formed of steel spring wire, although in the showing of the drawings the said. patterns are inthe nature of metal stripssuitably connected together. are all formed with equidistantly spaced The upper edges of each of the partitions representation of the head of a'human be- The lower edges of the patterns pointed elements or pins 11, and these elements are designed to project beyond the widened end 2 of the frame.

In practice the frame is arranged over a cake or similar confection which has been frosted, the frosting or icing being wholly or partly dry. Thereafter when employed the partitions are positioned in the frame and supported in a manner as just described.

tube, followthe lines left by the impression so that the design will be conveyed onto the cake. Of course, the design may be orna- 'mented by colored frostings. c The improvement is of a simple nature and will last indefinitely as there is no part thereofsubject towear or misuse.

'In Figures and 5 I have illustrated a further embodiment of the improvement. In these figures the frame 1f is similar to that previously described, but the design, as previously stated, includes a plate or wire shaped to'rrepresent a human head, the said V the ring members and the inner pattern 17 have their lower edges formed with pointed V studs or pins 18 which project a slight but suitable distance below the widened lower edge of the frame 1. This pattern is employed in a manner similar to that previously described. a

The simplicity of my invention, and the advantages thereof will, it is thought, be perfectly apparent to those skilled in the art towhichsuch devices relate when the foregoing description has been carefully read in connection with the accompanying drawings, so that further'detailed explanationcof the improvement is not believed necessary;

Having described the invention, I'claim A confectioners pattern marker, including a frame whose lower edge is widened outwardly and whose upper edge is notched,

ends to be received in the notches of the frame, said partitions, having their upper edges notched, patterns having headed studs extending outwardly therefrom to 'bejre oeive d in the notches of theframeand in the notches of the partitions, and each of said patterns having] ins on the lower edges thereof which pro]ect through the frame,

In testimony whereof I atfix my signature.

CARL MARCH,

40 partitions in the frame, said partitions havingheaded studs pro ect1ng from the outer.
